Radio Adelaide

The Flâneur Files

with Mahendra, Hamish and Adrian

Program description

A flâneur is one who saunters around observing society. Our program adopts this position to empathise with and understand the human condition. Using literature, philosophy, politics, economics, and anthropology—among others—we attempt to shed light on ‘dasein’, that is, what it means to be human.

Our program traverses the full breadth of human experience: those stories of love and hate, triumph and disaster, drudgery and fulfilment—the multitude of spectra that combines to constitute one’s life.

Tremolow

Recorded in Melbourne with Malcolm Besley (Northeast Party House, City Calm Down) and featuring appearances from Hatchie and Ali Barter, as well as a welcomed addition of brass and strings from members of Saskwatch and Dorsal Fins, 'Tremolow' features 11 blissful Britpop-infused jams soaked in lush retro soundscapes, sing-along melodies and hyperactive rhythms.
